Green Day takes the title International Superhits literally, offering a no-surprises compilation of all the songs that made a big dent on commercial radio. From the pop-punk heroes' breakthrough album Dookie ("Longview," "Welcome to Paradise") through Insomniac ("Brain Stew"), Nimrod ("Good Riddance [Time of Your Life]"), and Warning ("Minority"), if a record produced a hit, that song is on this album. There are only two new tracks on the Superhits (both recorded a couple of months before the album's release)--the spazzed out rock & roll singalong "Maria" and the puppy-dog love of "Poprocks & Coke." Because International Superhits doesn't pull from Green Day's early EPs and Lookout albums or offer any live variations, though, this album is really only one for the serious-minded collectors who don't want to skip past a single Green Day release. -- Jennifer Maerz

 THE COMPLETE GREATEST HITS COLLECTION FROM 1994 TO 2001 May 25, 2008

Excellent May 25, 2008
T. Boehnlein (Dayton, Ohio, USA)
This was perfect for my wife who only seems to really listen to their hits and ignore the rest of the album. I think it's a good selection of songs though. Green Day has made quite a few good ones over the years. It's like being back in 6th grade.
A nice Green Day retrospective March 5, 2008
Johnny Boy (Hockessin, DE)
Green Day has become one of the most legendary punk bands of all-time. This collection, 'International Superhits!,' spans their Reprise years, 1995-2002. Although the legendary 'American Idiot' isn't covered (it wasn't released yet, obviously), you still get a great set of 21 legendary classics.
Green Day's music is simply amazing. Billie Joe Armstrong has the ultimate punk rock voice, Mike Dirnt is a great bass player, and Tre Cool is a great drummer. This trio is a trio not to ignore, and if you're just getting into Green Day, buy this set.
So how does this set measure up?
Positives
-EVERY MAJOR REPRISE HIT IS HERE!!! 'She,' 'Basket Case,' 'Longview,' 'Warning' and 'Geek Stink Breath' are all here for your listening pleasure.
-THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT!
Negatives
-Why aren't the early Lookout years (1990-1992) featured on this set? The original 'Welcome To Paradise,' 'Green Day,' '2000 Light Years Away' and their great cover of The Who's 'My Generation' are all missing from this set.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this set. Highly recommended for any Green Day fan. ENJOY!!!
Can't beat a classic August 2, 2007

Any person looking to become a Green Day fan should purchase this album.
While not all the songs may be great, the darker songs make up for that.
Then you get to Good Ridance (Time of Your Life) and think, "Wait, is this still Green Day?"
This CD shows what Green Day is still capable of.
My Recommendation:
Don't buy all of Green Day's older stuff if you are on a tight budget, and just invest in this CD. It supplies enough.
 Green Day-International Superhits! (an unbiased review) June 16, 2007
Tina (Tampa, FL)
First, let me start off by saying that this is an unbiased review. I'm not a fan of the band nor do I dislike the band. I'm a fan of all types of music. I also won't be comparing this album to any other albums from the band. This review will be strictly on this particular album. Now onto the review.
Here's a breakdown of the songs:
Maria-This is one of the songs on this album that I didn't know before listening to this album. Clearly one of their earlier hits. In comparison to the other songs on this album, this song is just ok. Still has the typical fast pace guitars that Green Day is known for which is a plus.
Poprocks & Coke-Another song that I didn't know.Another just ok song from the band. That doesn't prevent me from blasting this song as loud as I can however. The harder guitars and quirky verses add so much to this song.
Longview-A classic Green Day hit. The lyrics are funny as hell, the chorus makes you want to scream the lyrics as loud as you can. One of my favorite Green Day songs.
Welcome to Paradise-Another awesome sing along. The instrumental solo is the real kicker in this song. It might not be one of my favorite songs from the band but it's a great addition to the album.
Basket Case-How could anyone not like Basket Case? Again, great lyrics, hard guitars. Catchy as heck. One of my favorite songs on this album.
When I Come Around-The first song on this album to showcase the band's more emotional and meaningful music. This song means a ton to me. The chorus isn't anything special but it doesn't have to be. The guitars and stellar lyrics take care of that.
She-Another song I didn't know. Sad, because it's a great, catchy little song. If you're unsure about whether or not to get this album for fear of not liking the songs you haven't heard of, you've nothing to worry about. This one song made the rest of the album worth it.
J.A.R.-Not one of the best songs on this album. I tend to skip over this song more than listen to it. I do like to listen to it when I'm angry though. Nothing is more punk rock than this song.
Geek Stink Breath-LOVE the guitars in this song. This is another just ok song. The chorus just isn't all that catchy and doesn't have much of a climax. The monotony killed what could have been a great song.
Brain Stew-You know this one too. The guitars steal the show in this song. The catchiness and heaviness of the guitars are enough to make this song one of my favorites on this album.
Jaded-This one is normally connected to Brain Stew. Short and sweet, this song makes you want to pump your fist in the air and sing at the top of your longs.
Walking Contradiction-The perfect punk rock song-funny lyrics, fast/catchy guitars, and an incredibly awesome chorus to sing along to.
Stuck With Me-I'll admit that this song sounds a lot like 75% of the other songs on this album. However, it still stands on its own. I don't play this one too often.
Hitchin' A Ride-One of the few different songs on this album. As always, the guitars put this song on a whole other level compared to the other songs. This was another song I didn't know but it is now one of my favorites.
Good Riddance-The one that everyone knows the words to. Some say it's overplayed (it's everyone's senior song after all). Probably my favorite song on this album. It never, ever gets old.
Redundant-One of the more emotional songs on this album. It's an above average song although this is another one I skip pretty often. I only wish the chorus was not so monotonous.
Nice Guys Finish Last-An older Green Day song. Funny lyrics but, again, the chorus is nothing special.
Minority-The first real song on this album that uses harmonies. This is my personal anthem. Another great Green Day classic! One of my favorites on this album.
Warning-Whenever I think of this song, I'm reminded of the music video that went with it and I immediately blast it as loud as I can. It's great to hear an acoustic guitar in this song when the majority of the songs are fast paced.
Waiting-A great way to end this album. Again, not my favorite song but it's still a Green Day hit and needs to be included.
My rating: 4/5 stars. I like 90% of the songs on this album. The other 10% is the reason for the 4 stars. Although I didn't know most of the songs before I listened to this CD, it's great to hear new material (to me) and I actually liked a lot of them. This is a must have album for any punk rock fan or any person who likes even only a couple Green Day songs. You don't know how much you want this album until you listen to it the whole way through.
